I'm disgusted why everyone is so upset. I loved E3. I think they are making some really cool games. :3
Who is upset about Nintendo's "Spin-off" year at E3?

I heard something about buying up turnips being a thing in Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival? If so, makes me think that may be similar to the stock options in Fortune Street.
I love Super Paper Mario.

80s anime is cool
At least its better than Nintendo's conference at E3 2008.
Wii Music EVERYWHERE.

Most of TBT this E3 honestly:
I know right. I never saw that line in SPM.
I'm upset about that Mario and Luigi game with Paper Mario. Everyone's calling it a crossover, but it doesn't look like one. I didn't see any partners or unique "villagers" (all the toads look exactly the same), I didn't see any cool environments. Why are those green koopas (which are all clones of each other) enemies? In Paper Mario you worked with the koopas in the village and only fought a few individual ones... Why is Petey Pirahna there?? Hasn't he died like three times already?
When I was bored with the regular Mario universe and thinking about quitting those games, I found Paper Mario and loved it for its stories and characters. I loved the fact it had an actual storyline and canon. When characters died, they actually died (unlike Petey Piranha...). Every NPC was unique in design and speech. Things made sense, the plot was complex, it wasn't the same "Bowser kidnapped Peach for the 90th time!" Playing each game was like reading a novel!
I just don't see the appeal of the Mario and Luigi games and I don't like how they're "absorbing" paper mario. And why is Paper Mario all of a sudden a different character from "regular" Mario? It had so many easter eggs tying it to Super Mario 64 and Luigi's Mansion.
First Sticker Star and now this. Nintendo's killing Paper Mario. That bothers me more than the AC games to be honest. I'm confident we'll eventually get a real Animal Crossing game. But another Paper Mario? It seems unlikely...
All I want is a Paper Luigi! The plot is already there Nintendo! Just make it happen!

I'm really excited about Happy Home Designer, it looks like it's taking everything that I love about Animal Crossing and expanding on it... I'm also pretty interested in Super Mario Maker, but other than those two I'm not really on one side of the fence or the other.

I think one thing people seem to forget is that Nintendo regularly have Directs. I understand that people will say E3 is where Nintendo should really show off much like other game companies do, but... What you have to realise is that they are choosing not to show us certain games for most likely valid reasons. Nintendo don't want to just show us a game that's still in the very early stages of production, and they also don't want to show us games with a very far off release date, hence why they may not have shown us AC WiiU, or a new Pok?mon, or Zelda U, because they know we would have been unhappy with that, too! They want to show us games when they feel they are at their best level. We have to have patience with Nintendo. No doubt we will get another Direct soon with more information. We are lucky to have that. Other game companies don't tend to do that!
Anyway, I was quite happy with their E3 presentation, I might be the only person who is.
1) Starfox looks like a lot of fun! Not sure if I'll get it because I've never been a big fan of the series but it looks good.
2) Mario Maker looks like a lot of fun, too! It's clear to see Nintendo really wanted to push this as being one of their big games this year. It's very impressive. I suppose Mario Maker will only really appeal to certain people but again I think it looks like a really good game.
3) Happy Home Designer: I LOVE the looks of this game, honestly! The amount of customisation in this game is phenomenal, and I love that! I also love how you can now build different buildings like the school. So excited.
4) Amiibo Festival: Yeah, not too sure on this one, I think it looks like fun but there are no minigames in like the main board game, unlike Mario Party, so I feel like it could become a bit dull and repetitive. Apparently though there are other modes to it so I guess we'll have to wait and see what else they come up with. Also, the game is FREE, so I guess we can't complain.

More like disappointed. I wasn't, like, really super ready for a main entry Pokemon, but I did want another AC (amiibo, ugh). I can even probably pass on that, but really, we aren't seeing anything particularly big on WiiU. That is very disappointing. After the strong sales of Splatoon despite its huge DLC flaw, I would have thought that Nintendo would at least try to release core series games for that poor system... The WiiU is not a cruddy system, by the way, so the way it is being treated is extremely disappointing. Can Metroid be redeemed is the question looming above E3 this year, lol.
(Also, can I ask who asked for another Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games? Who asked for that? Raise your hand.)
Zelda looks good. I am still waiting for more announcements, but yeah. Zelda is priority number 2 after Pokemon, so I am pretty excited for new Zelda stuff. And also
I am STOKED for Xenoblade. XENOBLADE UUUUUUU
I will mention Fire Emblem because I'm going to buy it, but I don't have a lot to say, lol.
Excited about Star Fox though!! :>

I have been interested in getting Fortune Street (Wii) for some time, so since Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival seems similar to it, I am interested in getting it. What I am not so enthusiastic for however is, as the name suggests, how central Amiibo is to the game: in other words, I feel like 'accessories' are required to enjoy the game, a concept I am not excited about in general, so how they are implemented is important.
Relatedly, I hope that, unlike with Mario Party 10, players do not have to tap Amiibo figures each turn, for instance, as that novelty can wear out its welcome quite fast. Also unlike Mario Party 10, I hope this new game does not limit controller use to one player for Gamepad, and everyone else on only Wii Remote (even Fortune Street, a much older game, at least allowed players to share a Wii Remote, rather than expecting each purchaser to have one for each player).

-Partners might be in the game, just later.
-Koopas are almost always enemies...
-Bowser has died 8374927492737 times, so???
-Just wondering (not trying to be rude), but have you played a Mario and Luigi game? Because they're a LOT like older Paper Marios. And the stories are on par or better with the Paper series as well.
-Nintendo makes Mario, Baby Mario, Metal Mario, and Tanooki Mario all separate characters, they can do the same with Paper Mario.
-This seems more like a revival of the series. I mean, it's going back to turn-based battles like the older games, so that's a start. And it most likely won't be level-based like Sticker Star either.
I I kinda just had to rant about your rant, it was one of the only interesting things at E3 for me.
you forgot the "I don't care" option
I think its fun to see they will be making a spin off pokemon game it could have been way better but im sure next year we will get many great things from nintendo. Hoping they will make many cool amiibos to make up for everything that they have (or havent) done this year

Meh
I don't really expect anything from Nintendo, so I can't really say I'm disappointed or upset. I kind of like pokemon super mystery dungeon. It gives a nice change of pace like other pokemon games such as snap and pokepark.
And to add to that, it IS a Mario & Luigi game, so even if it doesn't have things like partners and such, you can't really blame them, because that's not how Mario & Luigi works. But who knows, maybe there will be a section with partners.
But at the same time, Mario & Luigi feel drastically different from Paper Mario. Battle wise, there's a lot more movement involved with Mario & Luigi where as in Paper Mario you just hit one button to counterattack (heck even the action commands for stuff like hammers are different). Plus, a lot of the puzzles are "brother" based and you have to constantly work with each other's special abilities and switching them around, where as in Paper Mario you use the ability quickly and travel onward. And then there's the whole story format that's just one huge thing in Mario & Luigi and neatly divided in Paper Mario but that's a whole other thing.
Still looks awesome!
